YouTube Shorts vs Long Videos
Same views, two RPM worlds. Compare Shorts and long-form earnings — and the views each needs for your goal.
—Shorts earnings
—Long-form earnings
—Long pays × more
—Views needed for goal (each)
Shorts win reach and subscribers; long-form wins revenue. Most channels need both.
How it works
Shorts monetize at a fraction of long-form RPM — the same million views can differ by 20–40×. The calculator prices both formats on identical views, shows the multiplier gap, and reverse-computes how many views each format needs to hit your monthly goal so you can plan the content mix deliberately.
